US EditionUAE Dismantles Hezbollah-linked Terrorist Network Amid Escalating Gulf Tensions
- On Wednesday, Kuwait's interior ministry arrested 10 militants affiliated with the Iran-backed Lebanese Hezbollah group, accusing them of plotting attacks on vital installations and saying 'The State Security Agency has successfully thwarted a plot for a terrorist operation targeting vital installations.'
- Rising Iranian-linked attacks have increased Gulf security concerns as Lebanon was drawn into the Middle East war on March 2 when Hezbollah attacked Israel.
- The ministry shared video showing seized Hezbollah flags, small drones, pictures of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Hassan Nasrallah, plus weapons, camera drones and morse-code communication devices.
- Prior Gulf–Lebanon tensions suggest potential escalation as the arrests risk stoking communal sensitivities in Kuwait, where the Shia community comprises about one-third of the local population, and ongoing Gulf pressures could amplify strains with Iran and Iran-backed groups.
- On Monday, Kuwait's interior ministry said it arrested 16 people—14 Kuwaitis and two Lebanese nationals—for a 'sabotage plot', while Hezbollah denied any members were among them.
